At Anytime during this model's Activation

The resolution or opportunity for use does occur at anytime during the model's activation- except when it or another model is resolving a movement, attack, or any other effect.

9. Resolve all other effects that are triggered by hitting or missing. 10. Roll all damage rolls against models that have been hot, or as specified by special rules.

Activation Timing
1. Resolve effects that occur before activating. 2. Resolve effects that occur at the beginning of activation. 3. Resolve all required forfeiture of movement and action. 4. If activating a unit, the unit commander can issue an order. 5. Resolve effects that occur before moving. 6. The model makes its normal movement. 7. Resolve effects that occur at end of normal movement. 8. If activating a unit, repeat steps 6 and 7 for all troopers, then resole effects that occur at the end of unit's movement. 9. The model makes its action. 10. Resolve effects that occur at end of action and at end of combat action. 11. If activating a unit, repeat steps 9 and 10 for all troopers then resolve effects that occur at the end of unit's actions. 2. Roll the dice.

Damage Roll
1. Resolve effects that change the number of dice rolled.

3. Resolve effects that allow a player to choose or remove dice from the roll. 4. Determine if the roll would damage the model. 5. Resolve effects that cause the damage roll to be rerolled, returning to step 2. 6. Resolve effects triggered by a damage roll being sufficient or insufficient to damage a model. 7. The damage roll is complete. Return to the main sequence. 11. Apply all damage. 1. Mark damage on the appropriate stat card.

Damage Application

2. Resolve effects triggered by a model suffering damage. 3. If the damage applied in step 2 fills the last damage box for a model, that model becomes disabled. Resolve effects triggered by the model becoming disabled. 4. If the model is still disabled, it becomes boxed. Resolve effects triggered by a model becoming boxed. 5. If the model is still boxed, it is destroyed. Resolve effects triggered by a model being destroyed. 6. Remove the destroyed model from the table, then return to the main sequence. 12. The attack is now resolved. After the attack is resolved: a. Resolve effects that automatically damage, destroy, or remove models from play. b. Resolve active player effects that do not involve making an attack. c. Resolve inactive player effects. d. Resolve active player effects that involve making at attack.

Attack Main Sequence

1. Determine what the attacker can target. 2. Resolve effects that occur before attacking. 3. Declare the attack and its target. 4. If the attack is a ranged or magic attack, check the range to the target. If the target is out of range, the attack automatically misses;do not make any attack rolls, and go to step 7. 5. Resolve effects that occur when a model is targeted by an attack, such as effects that cause an attack to hit or miss automatically. 6. Make all attack rolls as dictated by the type of attack and its special rules. 1. Resolve effects that change the number of dice rolled. 2. Roll the dice. 3. Resolve effects that allow a player to choose or remove dice from the roll. 4. Determine if the target would be hit or missed by the attack roll against it. 5. Resolve effects that cause the attack roll to be rerolled, returning to step 2. 6. The attack roll is complete. Return to the main sequence. 7. Resolve effects that cause the attack to hit a model other than the target automatically. 8. Resolve AOE hit or deviation. All models within the AOE at its final position are now hit by it. Only the target of the AOE is directly hit, and then only if the attack against it succeeds. All other models are hit but not directly hit.

Attack Roll

Active/ Inactive PlayerIf no model is making an attack, the active player is the player whose turn it is. If a model is making an attack, its controller is the active player. In both cases, the other player is the inactive player. When resolving effects that occur after the attack is resolved, the active and inactive players remain the same as during the attack until all effects triggered by the attack are resolved.

Triggered Effects
When resolving triggered effects, recheck trigger conditions as each ability is resolved. If a condition is no longer met, the effect does not resolve.

Simultaneous and Sequential

When an effect causes multiple attacks or damage against multiple models, the attacks and damage can be either simultaneous or sequential. These labels denote whether various effects can resolve before all attacks or damage are resolved or if the effects can intercede, possibly changing the outcome of the original effect. When resolving simultaneous effects, completely resolve all attack and damage rolls before applying any of the target's special rules triggered by suffering damage, being destroyed, or being removed from play.
